🥅 Goalkeepers
Avangard's goaltender Nikita Serebryakov remains one of the top performers in his position across the league. The former SKA player boasts a save percentage of 92.7% and has recorded two shutouts. His consistent play between the pipes instills confidence in his teammates.
Lada's goalie Ivan Bocharov continues to maintain respectable stats. The former Torpedo player averages a 91.8% save rate and has frequently been the savior for his team. However, even his valiant efforts in goal have done little to alter the team's dismal standing in the league table.
